Ever since Feng Qing's friend asked her a rather strange question that day, Feng Qing has been looking at her with a strange look in her eyes. Is

there something wrong with this guy's brain? Why is she asking about such things for no reason, and how could she have such a strange hobby?

Although Feng Qing has always been quite concerned about her friend's sudden brain seizure, she didn't know why her friend suddenly seemed to shrink in the past few days and would not come out to find her no matter what. This feeling was also very strange, as if she was deliberately avoiding her.

Although Feng Qing was a little curious, she was a little busy before the New Year, so she didn't have time to ask what was going on, but tried to finish everything before going home for the New Year.

Xu Erlang returned to the mountain in an instant as promised.

He thought that many people would know that Hua Chaodu was alive, but after a few days he found that it was not widely known. Thinking carefully, it should be the people from Hua Chaodu who took action behind the scenes. For

a moment, out of some purpose of not wanting to embarrass the leader, he did not choose to expose the news during the New Year, so at that time, not many people knew that Hua Chaodu was still alive. The forces of all parties were still surging undercurrents. Many sects that had hidden their ambitions for a long time were exposed in this incident. Xu Erlang watched these things coldly, just waiting for Hua Chaodu to take action against this group of people in the future.

He knew that the guy would definitely write down the names of these people.

Late at night, Xu Erlang sat on the brightly lit Yishan Mountain and read some newly received intelligence carefully.

In a moment, I was located in a deep mountain. That deep mountain was originally a place with few people, but in a moment, it has become a well-known sect in the martial arts world. Therefore, even in such a deep mountain and old forest, there are many merchants and villages.

This is what is often said that the rich in the deep mountains have

distant relatives. The people who can live here are not ordinary people. Most of them have relatives to support them. In short, although they live in this deep mountain and old forest that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not a too bleak place after all.

Looking at the mountains with brilliant lights in the distance, and the joyful and lively sounds that can be heard even in such a far place, Xu Erlang sighed and finally put down the pen.

It was really too noisy, and it affected his mood.

He remembered that the inn he had been to some time ago was also quite noisy, especially during the day, but when Xu Erlang sat there, he didn't feel as upset as he did now, and sometimes he even liked listening to the gossip of the guests around him.

What was the difference between the two?

All he wrote in the letter were the things he had inquired about in the inn in the past few days. He wanted to write down everything in his mind and then give it to the leader. For Xu Erlang, the leader was the first person he put above his life, and no one else could.

At the same time, Xu Erlang was also responsible for arranging some things for the leader to pay attention to when he traveled.

Generally speaking, if the leader of the Yishanzhan sect wanted to establish some prestige, he would definitely come to Xu Erlang, because Xu Erlang seemed to have a natural talent in this regard.

He knew what a leader of a demon sect should do in order to make his followers look at him as a god rather than a human. Yishanzhan was originally a demon sect that was not too glorious, but now almost everyone knew that the leader of Yishanzhan was a legendary figure. Although his appearance would cause fear in many people, for another part of the people, the leader was the god in their hearts. All of this was almost entirely caused by Xu Erlang.

Xu Erlang himself did not have the ability to become that kind of leader, but it did not prevent him from having an obsession with others being able to become such a person.

And the leader of the moment is a "work" that he thinks he can spend his whole life to carefully carve. Every time he thinks about the leader, he is always very serious.

So it seems that his indecisiveness at this moment is very special.

"Maybe it's because it's too noisy outside?" Xu Erlang said to himself after a while of silence.

Maybe because it's too noisy, he always feels that the sounds around him are very harsh, and his heart is inexplicably irritated.

"Xu Erlang." Just when he was thinking about it, the door in front of him was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Erlang immediately straightened his face.

Even though he didn't see who the person who came in was, he still respectfully called out to the person who came in, "Master."

A man wearing a military hat slowly walked out from the shadows. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his tone was very gentle, "Why didn't you go out today?"

"I felt that it was too noisy outside, so I always felt a little dizzy and had to hide inside." Xu Erlang said.

This was the truth. He looked at the master carefully and asked, "Why didn't you go?"

"They toasted too much, I really couldn't drink it, so I had no choice but to hide outside." The master's voice with a smile came from there.

"I see, but those who toasted you are just admiring you. In their hearts, you are the greatest leader, so they are so excited to see you."

Xu Erlang knew that the leader was a person who did whatever he wanted most of the time. Although he had never shown his face, he had his own reasons for attracting so many people. He certainly could not have done it with Xu Erlang's efforts alone.

The man in front of him was simply like a mystery.

He was very ambitious, and Xu Erlang never doubted this. The man in front of him was almost the most ambitious person he had ever seen, because he wanted to dominate the entire martial arts world.

In Xu Erlang's eyes, this plan was as attractive as poison, making him eager to go through fire and water for him.

But he is not as boring as most ambitious people. Sometimes he is like a wild crane, sometimes like a stern father, and sometimes like a child... Those strange personalities merged together to become the leader in front of us.

If it were normal, Xu Erlang would definitely applaud this idea and run away from the brightly lit banquet where almost everyone was toasting him.

Because this is really a leader-style approach.

He is arbitrary and domineering, and he has his own way, but he seems to have the innocence and unique willfulness of a child.

This is something that only the proud sons of heaven are worthy of. Many ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to touch it.

Xu Erlang really liked this aspect of his leader that he would occasionally show. He believed that only at times like this was the leader who was feared by everyone the most lovable. But this time, Xu Erlang didn't know why he was not as excited as usual.

He was even slightly stunned for a second.

"What's wrong? Did you remember something else?" The leader in front of him suddenly said.

Xu Erlang suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head, and explained, "No, I just heard someone outside saying your name in unison, and I was a little fascinated by it, so I forgot to reply to you."

"Is that so." The leader also listened carefully like Xu Erlang, then shook his head and chuckled, "They really like to shout like that...but it sounds a bit tacky. Next time if I have a chance, I will tell them not to shout like that."

"It wasn't the people in the church who ordered them to do this, but they shouted it spontaneously." Xu Erlang said, "Although it may not sound pleasant, it is the voice in the minds of the believers after all, and even you, the leader, can't interfere with this."

The leader seemed to be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "You are getting better and better at talking."

Xu Erlang bowed his head respectfully, but didn't say anything more.

Sure enough, the leader didn't mention this matter again.

Xu Erlang bowed his head and answered the questions raised by the leader word by word, but inexplicably thought of some scenes he saw during the three days he lived in the inn.

...

That day, the shopkeeper who always looked like she was wearing a coarse linen shirt and had a sleepy face looked at the famous head of the sect in the lobby, who was dressed in silk and satin, with her nose wagging to the sky. Suddenly, she turned around and gently patted the arm of the cook beside her, and then said slowly in a voice that was neither light nor heavy, "I'm so annoyed with him."

Although her voice was deliberately lowered at that time, in this lobby where almost everyone has excellent hearing, who could not hear the shopkeeper's deliberately lowered voice? When

she said this, she was just like a completely naughty child, but Xu Erlang, who had been listening to the sect head chattering for half an hour, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

There was no way. He couldn't stand the headmaster's constant boasting about him. If he hadn't had some interactions with the headmaster, Xu Erlang would have taken action.

Although he had heard that the headmaster of the Wuming Inn had a strange temper and that the inn had too many rules, it was only after seeing it with his own eyes that Xu Erlang realized how strange the headmaster's temper was.

It was a small matter to "whisper" about others in person without saying a word. Xu Erlang also saw with his own eyes that the headmaster directly kicked people of very noble status and position out of the door, but it was as if he didn't know them at all.

Li Guxing whispered to the shopkeeper, "Since you are bothered by him, how about I drive him away?"

"Hurry up, hurry up." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Put him on the blacklist and don't let him in from now on."

The shopkeeper at that time was not wearing low-key and expensive silk like the leader, nor was he as mysterious and sharp as the leader.

However, Xu Erlang inexplicably felt that the shopkeeper was particularly interesting, much more interesting than many people he had met.

He shook his head and just stopped himself from thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the leader in front of him ask a question.

"You've been to the Nameless Inn some time ago, right? So how is Huachao now?"
